re: Pistol Pete vs Caitlyn Clark

Dude. Just because Caitlin will likely outscore Pete in their overall college careers, doesn't mean she would beat him in a game of basketball.

You're capable of understanding, right?

I don’t know if Dad being coach would help, but she usually gets 40 shots per game:

I swear I don’t know how some of you can even navigate this website. The game log you just linked shows she has zero games with 40+ shot attempts

I swear, if you can’t read basic stat pages, maybe you should stay off the sports board.

Career FG attempts per game
CC - 19.9
Pete- 38.1

Career total FG attempts
CC - 2567
Pete - 3166

Career FG%
CC- 47%
Pete- 43%

Once again, I think it’s dumb that the men vs women comparison is being made here, but if you are going to bring up the 3-PT line, you have to acknowledge the stark difference in shot attempts as well.

The truth was, Pete Maravich was a very good player in a perfect situation. He was the best player on a bad team and his dad was the head coach.

Once again, Pete was obviously a very good player, but I think there are several guys who could replicate what he did in the same situation.

For instance, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar averaged 27 PPG in college on 64% shooting and only 16.8 FG attempts per game. Now imagine he gets 38 attempts per game like Pete did. Of course, his FG% would go down, but I think it’s safe to say he would match or surpass Pete’s scoring mark with ease.

This is absolutely absurd

Let me clarify. I’m talking about a college rec/fraternity team, most of which have starters that played in high school.

She’s not taller.
She’s skinny.
She’s way slower.
If they played any D, she’d struggle to get a shot off.

Now, the teams I played on, she’d dominate us. I will give you that.

In all fairness, folks shouldn’t be mad at her, she didn’t start this bullshite comparison. I doubt she even agrees with it.

Why are LSU fans so butt hurt about this! Cry more....
